depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Here's my take on it. If your in the key of C. No Sharps, no flats then R=C,2=D,3=E,4=F,5=G,6=A,7=A# A '+' means raise it a fret or 1/2 step and a '-' means lower that note a fret or 1/2 step. The following chords get you started. Dom is R,3,5 Min is R,3-,5 Dom6 is R,3,6 Min6 is R,3-,6 Dom7 is R,3,7 Min7 is R,3-,7 Maj7 is R,3,7+ MinAug7 is R,3-,7+ Min7 When you want a suspended chord it means that there is no 3rd in the chord Sus2 R,2,5 Sus4 R,4,5

The 7th is actually B. When you add B to the R 3 5, you get a major 7th, which shows up a lot in jazz. Then when you flat the 7th, playing Bb in this case, you get the bluesy sounding 7th that we're more familiar with. That bluesy sound always involves flating something, whereas augmenting something sounds...um...lifted, and brighter.

Anyway, so, your Maj7 is not a raised 7th. It's the 7th that's normally in the scale...in your case, the white-key B that's in a C-scale.

I get somewhat lost after majors and minors... heh heh... maybe a 7 or two... but it's just a hobby for me anyway...

[screwbushcomegetme]

hmm thats interesting im a beginner and to simply place my hand in line on the frets its a challenge to stretch my fingers out over 4 frets. when playing chords im really challenged to stretch out to cover 3 frets does this mean i should give up guitar for another instrument i need some advice.

[stratmaster1]

Don't give up.Everyone has a problem at first,and you think it will never happen.Just persevere and it will come to you.Look at Justin Sandercoe finger stretching excercise 097 Guitar Lesson - Finger Stretching Exercise in search. Hope this helps.

corection: what i thought the professor meant was that it was a G III7 chord. that's why i immediately responded because it is actually a G V7 chord form. but he is right because it is 3rd position. GO BERKLEE! haha. sorry for being a dumbass and an asshole.
